To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
This Curt custom base plate kit is made from welded, high-strength steel and physically tested to the vehicle’s gross weight rating (GVWR). That solid build spreads towing forces evenly across the frame for steady handling on long trips. It’s dependable hardware made to handle serious miles without adding flex or strain to your setup.
When you’re not towing, you don’t want brackets sticking out in plain sight. This design hides the main body under the front end for a clean, factory-style look. The removable arms twist out easily, leaving nothing but a smooth finish so your front bumper stays uncluttered.
The twist-lock tabs make connecting your tow bar simple—just twist to secure or remove when you’re done. There’s no hunting for tools or extra parts; it’s a quick, reliable connection that saves time in your driveway or at the campsite.
A rust-resistant liquid Bonderite layer is baked together with a high-gloss black powder coat, creating a durable finish that stands up to road grime, salt, and rain. That dual protection keeps your setup looking sharp and sturdy season after season.
Each base plate is custom engineered to mount to existing attachment points, giving you an aligned, bolt-on fit with no guesswork. The kit also includes safety cables for secure attachment. With bracket spacing of 30-3/8" and bracket height of 15", you can plan your tow bar setup with precision.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Curt custom base plate kit with removable arms. Now this has been designed to fit your 2022 and newer Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2, and on custom fit parts such as this base plate. I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. So when it comes to towing, fit and function are going to matter.
That's why each Curt base plate is custom engineered for your exact vehicle aligning perfectly with existing attachment points. So the result is going to be a secure factory style setup that's going to blend seamlessly with your bumper and frame. So it's gonna look like it came straight from the manufacturer with these already on. Hooking up your tow bar couldn't be easier. Curt's twist lock tabs let you connect or disconnect in seconds.
So no tools, no fuss, and when you're not towing you're gonna be able to simply remove the tabs for a clean unobtrusive look that's gonna keep your ride looking sharp. Let me give you a brief demonstration here. I think you can see we've got a ring here. So I'm just going to, I'm trying not to block the view here, so let me see if I can do it this way. I'm just going to pull that ring and that's going to pull this peg back here.
And that's going to allow me then to twist this and then that's going to come out. So if I bring this up here a little bit closer, you're gonna be able to see when you pull that ring, that tab comes back and then that's going to allow me to unlock. And then when I'm ready to pop this back in, I'm just gonna push this in and then give it a twist just like that and then it clips right into place. So very easy to remove these arms or tabs, however you'd like to describe them. Curt base plates work with top towing brands like Curt and Blue Ox and they're easily adaptable for Roadmaster systems.
So no matter what setup you're running, Curt's gonna make it simple to stay connected. Each base plate is precision welded from high strength steel and physically tested to your vehicle's GVWR, giving you proven strength and lasting durability. This smart design also distributes towing loads evenly across your frame, reducing stress on your suspension and keeping your tow set up stable, mile after mile. Road grime, salt and rain is not really going to affect this kit because of Curt's two step finish. And then the Bonderite coating is layered beneath a high gloss black powder coat. So that's gonna give you long-term corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance that's gonna last. You are also going to get the safety cables for secure attachment and peace of mind on every trip. The distance between the brackets is gonna be 30 and three eight inches. The bracket height is 15 inches and you are going to get everything that you see here on the table, all the hardware that you need to get this installed into place and along with instructions to guide you through that installation process. But if you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this kit or anything else that we have here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out. We do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
Ratings & Reviews
Easy to install and well built.
this fits great on the 2003 Jeep wrangler , so the design was great , It took me quite some time to install it. Drilling through the Frame was not easy , Shipping was good and it came quickly,
Easy to install, once bumper cover is removed. The supplied bolts were barely long enough. They should be about a 1/2 inch longer. Once installed, the baseplate is barely noticeable and looks like a factory component.
These tuck nicely under the truck out of sight, high quality product, really prefer them over the other brands have used in the past. I like that the inserts can be removed vs a fixed base plate, like some other brands.
After a little help from a friend and a little bit of cutting on the car, everything worked out great!
2024 Bronco Big Bend with "capable" steel bumper. I used an angle grinder to cut two about 3"x6" openings for the hooks to stick through the steel skidplate. Unsure how it would work with the plastic one, but this worked pretty well and allows the D rings to stay which was my personal preference.
High quality and easy to install...
Until I busted the welded on nut off while attaching the skid plate, as it seemed to be a standard vs. metric thread. THe skidplate bolts will not work, new bolts must be purchased to attach the skid plate as they were not provided in my kit and the instructions make no mention of this issue. I located some standard bolts I had on hand that solved the issue in an effective but ugly way. Very disappointed as I'll have to R&R one side if Curt provides a replacement, and find black in color bolts to match the skidplate factory look. So, beware the skidplate threads... otherwise lovely.
Everything fit like it was supposed to. Not to difficult to install. A couple hours at most. Seems to be a quality product. Thanks
This was a quick install on my 2011 Wrangler Rubicon. Contrary to the Q&A advice that the c38FR (Curt 70102) base plate does not fit the Rubicon with the base stock Rubicon bumper, it indeed does fit. The base plate tucks up within an inch or so of the bottom of the bumper. Base plate C33FR (Curt 70110) recommended by eTrailer and Curt for the stock Wrangler Rubicon would hang down 4 inches below the bumper and would not be a great look!
Easy to install. All the holes lined up. Vey happy with my purchase
Works just like the video with the green Jeep shows you.
The hardest part was getting the outside nuts off the bumper.
Use long extensions and a swivel and a short 18 mm socket.
Other than that it went smoothly. But my friend has a lift so it was a lot easier to do it all baseplate , wiring, and brake buddy cable.
I'm very happy with everything I buy are very professional and they have very good products at very good prices, thank you
Product worked great! Installation was not that difficult, but instructions were xeroxed causing pictures to be difficult to see detail. I was able to go online and see full color pictures with the ability to zoom in. Took about 2-2.5 hours to install
Installed the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit (#C64ER) onto my 2019 Ford Ranger XLT FX4. Could not have been easier. Directions were excellent! Time required was about 2 hours. Great product!
Great tech advice finding the right product, easy purchase and prompt delivery!! Thanks Etrailer!!
Custom fit, everything went together smoothly. I'm ready to haul my Ford ranger behind my motor home.
This base plate kit worked very well with the Blue Ox Acclaim non-binding tow bar - coupler for 2" ball (code BX4330). We towed a 4 door Rubicon over 2000 miles and the setup worked great. The bar is very easy to couple and uncouple. The removable arms work exactly as advertised. I did have to cut two small slots in my custom bumper to install the base plate, but the slots are not in strength critical areas. The installation instruction are clear and good.
Easy to install with typical tools found in about anyone's garage. Took maybe an hour or so to do. We have pulled our Ranger about 2000 miles behind our RV without any issue.
No issues, easy installation. Great tech support.
Wasn't to hard to install with a helper to get bumper off my truck. Had bumper pulled and installed baseplates in about hour and a half.
Fit like it was made for it. :) Only issue was the fishing wires for the bolts in the frame. They would not fit through the holes in the locking plates so I couldn't use them. I used a magnet stick instead and it worked well. I did not put on the safety cables around the frame. I figure since this thing bolts to the steering box, if it comes off so does the steering box and then I have much bigger issues that these cables are not going to help.
Etrailer is with out a doubt the best supplier in the market today. they are on time every time and there support is excellent.
Great Base plate kit! Very easy to follow instructions even with my aftermarket bumper with winch. It fit perfect. The only issue I have is where the safety cables attach to the base plate….the cable connectors are too big to fit through the holes because the Jeep’s frame blocks part of the hole. See photo with red circle. I will have to get a smaller connector.
It preforms as designed. I tow a jeep gladiator with a 32’ class C RV
This is not the first time I have purchased from ETrailer, but by far the best experience yet. I was treading in uncharted waters and decided to call, i happened to get Paula S. And she was able to educate me on the subject at hand. She also made sure I was ordering all the right parts for the task at hand. I received the two boxes of parts and assembled everything on the vehicle and noticed i was missing something so I called back and talked to Ashley. She assured me that Paula did order the missing part and that it would be here the next day. (Delayed due to holiday) You can sure tell both ladies love their jobs and liked taking care of us customers. I will always try to deal with them when I need something towing related.
Jaime was very helpful in getting the right baseplate for my Jeep Cherokee and in retuning the wrong item which I ordered myself.
The baseplate installed easily and will be used for the first time next week. Also, the curt base plate did not require any trimming whatsoever of the plastics on the front of the car.
Thanks Jaime
